Amuse Tower Brace
 
It truly is a work of art, no question. I have also a harness seat belt installed on the driver's side. Got a great deal from Vivid Racing. You will not be disappointed in the least. The photos do not give it the justice that it truly deserves. It probably is the only one in this area right now. Photos to follow.

It is a fancy looking brace, but i have heard bad things about using it for harnesses. That even though it is reinforced, it is still not strong enough and it is at too steep an angle to be safe.

If the harness is just for show, more power to ya, but I wouldn't wear it for any kind of driving.

He's right a proper and safe harness should be anchored to the frame

It looks amazing though. I want one so bad! How long was the wait?

This is the second car that I have had a harness installed in and it is just as
secure as the first one! The harness is DOT approved and I had the best crew
in this area install it (AAM). I have no fear that it will protect me. But fears aside, I am not letting my baby hit one thing, on that one, you can bet the farm! Thanks for the comment. :driving:

Copy that. I would note, however, that it feels just as secure as the NASCAR Racer that I drove on the Richmond Track. As noted earlier, however, I am not letting a thing come close to hitting my Darksde. It's a 2009 with less than 12,600 miles on it.

Trust me when I tell you, it was a long one. It was at least 6-8 weeks. Nonetheless, the wait was worth it and Vivid had the best, bar none,
price. The customer service was on point as well. Sean held my hand
all the way through. They can get virtually anything from the "land
of the Rising Sun". Check them out! :tiphat:

Tell him Ken sent you..

OP, no matter how secure it "feels", it is not designed to hold up to the massive forces applied in an accident. No matter how good the harness is, it will not help when the harness bar gets ripped off its mountings. You will die, or worse, live and be crippled.

Taking the chance is just plain retarded. Full roll cage with the harness or stock belts. Those are your safe options.
